Far off in
the future, a far-fetched mechanical
miracle takes shape as a pile of junk
turns into an out of this world
scientific marvel. |

Rickey
Rocket, blast off! |

Announcer: |
It's
Rickety Rocket and the gang |

Cosmo,
Venus, Spashdown, Sunstroke |

Rickety was filled with all sorts of crime
fighting gadgets, including radar, and a gloop
glue squirter.
Rickety's catchphrase was "I'm a b-a-a-a-a-d
rocket!"
